The printer cover can be opened when replacing the paper. However, since the tear bar is on the inside of
the printer cover, be careful not to place your face or hands too close to the tear bar.
During and immediately after printing, the area around the thermal head is very hot.Do not touch it, as you
could be burned.
If any battery fluid gets on your skin or clothing, immediately wash the affected area with fresh water.
Otherwise, skin damage may result.
The battery pack may be hot immediately after the product has been used.
Please be sure to read
Using the Printer Some semiconductors can be damaged by static electricity.Be sure to turn off the printer when inserting or
removing the battery pack.
Do not drop the printer or hit it against a hard object.
Do not open the printer cover while the printer is printing.
Before you open the printer cover, make sure that printing data is not being sent to the printer.
Do not unplug or plug in a USB cable while the printer is printing or during communication.
Do not touch a USB connector while the printer is printing.
Turn off the printer when you are not using it.
When the printer is used in a low temperature environment, the battery's performance will be diminished,
and the amount of time that you can use the printer for may be reduced.
Do not pull out paper while the printer cover is closed.
The heating element and the driver IC of the thermal head are easily damaged. Do not touch them with
metal objects, sandpaper, etc.
Printing quality may suffer if the thermal head heating element becomes soiled by being touched with your
hands. Do not touch the thermal head heating element.
There is a risk of damage to the driver IC of the thermal head from static electricity.Never directly touch the
IC.
Do not operate the printer if there is moisture on the front surface of the head from condensation, etc.
Thermal Paper Handling Only use thermal paper with the designated specifications.The printing quality and working life of the
thermal head cannot be guaranteed if any paper other than that recommended is used. In particular, if ion
concentration of [Na+, K+, C1-] is high, it may drastically reduce the working life of the thermal head. Please
exercise caution.
Store the thermal paper in a cool, dry, dark location.
Do not rub the thermal paper with a hard object.
Do not leave the thermal paper in contact with plastic film, an eraser, or adhesive tape for a long period of
time.
Do not stack the thermal paper on fresh diazo copies or wet-type copies.
Do not use chemical glue on the thermal paper.
Do not use thermal paper that has been stored for a long period .

Notes about the Battery Pack General Battery Characteristics
The battery is a consumable and its performance over time gradually decreases.
While not in use, the battery will slowly discharge itself.
Prepare a battery pack that has been charged relatively recently (1 to 2 days earlier).
To ensure that the battery lasts for a long time, we recommend that you turn off the printer whenever
possible.
When used at low temperatures, battery performance will temporarily decline. Be sure to have a fully-
charged spare battery standing by if the printer will operate in a cold environment.
Charging the Battery Pack
The battery pack can be charged at ambient temperatures between 0 and 40°C.
The time required to charge the battery pack varies depending on the voltage and the ambient temperature.
Normally, it takes 4 to 5 hours to charge the battery pack.
It will take longer to charge the battery pack if you print while charging the battery pack.
Do not remove the battery pack while it is being charged.
Fully charge the battery prior to using the printer. Otherwise, the performance of the battery may be affected.
There is no need to completely discharge or use up a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery before recharge it.
It is normal for the battery pack to be hot after it has finished charging or been used.
Do not recharge a battery pack that has just been fully charged. Battery Pack Life
The battery can be charged approximately 500 times in the normal temperature range without losing
performance. If an extreme decline in the running time of the battery is noticed, the battery is reaching the
end of its usable life. It is recommended to replace the old battery with a new one. Notes about Using the Battery Pack
Only use a designated battery pack.
Only use the designated battery charging method.
You cannot use a USB cable other than the designated USB cable.
Do not throw the battery into a fire, place it near a flame or heating device, or leave it in a hot environment
(under direct sunlight, in a car, etc.).
Do not use a battery pack that has been dropped or subjected to a shock in some other way.
Do not disassemble or modify the battery pack.
Do not short the terminals of the battery pack or get it wet.
Do not place the battery pack in a bag with a small metal object (such as a key).
If any battery fluid gets on your skin or clothing, immediately wash the affected area with fresh water.
Otherwise, skin damage may result.
7
Notes about Storing the Battery Pack
When the fully-charged battery is stored for long periods of time, its performance may degrade. When not
using the battery for a long period of time, charge it to about 50%, and then store it.
If you do not intend to use the battery pack for a long time, be sure to remove it from the printer.
Keep the battery out of the reach of children. In addition, be careful that children do not remove the battery.
Store the battery pack in a cool place.
* We recommend that you store the battery pack in a dry area with an ambient temperature of 15 to 25 oC .
* Avoid storing the battery in locations with high or extremely low temperatures.
Battery Disposal and Recycling

the card in either direction to read the data.
Be sure to hold the printer firmly with your hand while swiping.
Pay attention to the hand you hold the printer, you finger
should not touch the cover of the MSR slot, if not, the card
cannot be read properly. (See correct example on Figure 3.4-2)
If you hold the corner of the card, it is difficult to swipe it straight so that you may fail to read the
card data.So hold the card in the center when you swipe the card.

A buzzer will sound once when a card is successfully read, and you will see present “MSR read success” in the
LCD.
When the printer fails to read the card, the buzzer will sound three times and you will see present ”MSR read
failure” in the LCD. Please check the orientation of the card, and slide it through the reader slot again.

To grasp a magnetic card To move a magnetic card
.
If you grasp the front/rear part of a card and move it
through the MSR slot,the front /rear part is loose
and a read error occurs.
If you insert a card tilted upward/downward into
the MSR slot,the card does not move horizontally
and a read error occurs.
If you extract a card at the end of the MSR slot by
lifting up or lowering down,the card is not
maintained and a read error occurs.
If you insert a card into the middle part of the MSR
card ,the card is not read correctly and read error
occurs,or if you move the card back or forth by force
after inserting into the MSR slot,the card is not read
correctly and a read error occurs.
Make sure the magnetic stripe is towards to the
magnetic head. Hold the card in the center as
illustrated below and swipe it straight at a steady
speed in the direction of arrows.
